MUX → SHJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Multan International Airport (Multan) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged, moon-like geological formations of the Balochistan mountain ranges and the unique fold-and-thrust belts of the Makran coastline before crossing the Gulf of Oman.
Search flights from MUX to SHJ
Kirthar Mountain Range
Dramatic limestone ridges and steep escarpments that mark the transition from the Indus plains to the Balochistan plateau.
Makran Fold Belts
Incredible geological 'ripples' and unique topographic waves that create a surreal, alien-looking landscape from high altitude.
Gulf of Oman
A deep turquoise maritime corridor filled with container ships and tankers entering the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Hamriyah Free Zone
Clear views of Sharjah's massive industrial port and coastal shipping hubs as the aircraft descends towards the airport.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to witness the sun highlighting the textures of the Balochistan mountains. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain scenery. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side.

Lower Indus Basin
Bird's eye view of the winding Indus River and the verdant agricultural strips contrasting against the Sindh desert.
Gadani Coastline
The dramatic meeting point of the Arabian Sea and the Pakistani desert, occasionally showing the massive ship-breaking yards.
Northern Hajar Range
The sharp, dark jagged peaks of the mountains that form the natural border between Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
Sharjah City Skyline
Stunning views of the Al Majaz Waterfront, Khalid Lagoon, and the dense cluster of skyscrapers during the final approach.
The left side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights as it faces away from the direct sun, reducing glare. It is also the superior side for viewing the illuminated Sharjah city lights and the Burj Khalifa in the distance if the flight path approaches from the East at night.
